An in-depth study conducted by the Research Institute of the Finnish Economy (Etla) has revealed that, rather than diminishing the overall demand for labor, artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly restructured the types of skills and jobs in demand. The organization’s recent findings show how the emergence of AI in text generation has influenced job markets profoundly.

In an undisclosed English-speaking job market platform, researchers categorized jobs into three distinct groups for the study. The work was divvied up into jobs that could be replaced by AI, those augmented by AI, and jobs that are not influenced by AI technology. Interestingly, […]
